MBCT

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a structured program that combines mindfulness practices—like paying attention to the present moment—with cognitive techniques to identify and change negative thought patterns. It helps individuals become more aware of their mental habits, particularly those related to depression and anxiety, allowing them to respond more skillfully rather than react automatically. MBCT aims to reduce the risk of future episodes of depression or anxiety by fostering a greater sense of awareness, acceptance, and control over one’s thoughts and emotions through sustained mindfulness practice and cognitive strategies.
